I just got an X300 that had 110 lumen packaging, but was assured to me by the online retailer to be 170 lumen.
Talking to Surefire, they say that they didn't track serial numbers for the 170 lumen change. Also many 170 lumen models got packaged in 110 lumen boxes since they had the old packaging left over. They said that any X300 made this year should be a 170 lumen version. I've read that many 110 lumen X300's rated at 170 or better in the past. Some speculate that the 170 lumen versions are no different, yet others with connections to surefire say that the newer 170 lumen versions are even brighter than older 110 lumen versions that rated higher. (Maybe the 170 is a definitive guarantee of 170 lumen or 170 at half battery?) Anyways. I would have felt tons better had I received my x300 with the 170 lumen packaging. If I paid full price for a flashlight that is now outdated by a newer generation I'll be pissed. So I'd like to know what other people's serial numbers are for x300's in 170 lumen packaging. (To see if mine is relatively close.) Mine is # A39514 |
